This page of tutorials and video tips was hand selected to show those relating to the PAK Graphical Analysis. The Quickstart Tutorial is an in depth tutorial that is for beginners or those needing a refresher in how to analyze data using the PAK Graphical Analysis tools. The PAK Video Tips listed are shorter, single topic focused videos for users with a little more experience using PAK.

Graphical Analysis Tips

PAK Graphical Layouts enable a user to create customized, repeatable report layouts. Easy to use tools allow you to link the layout to your data sets for automatic updating of test information. You can customize the layout to incorporate pictures, text, and other aesthetic features. In this PAK video tip you will learn how to create a PAK variable graphical layout and apply it to any graphic definition you create. You will also learn how a variable layout is different from fixed.

This PAK Video Tip is a beginner tutorial for how to use the PAK Arithmetic. In the video we go through setting up an example analysis and examine how the arithmetic provides you more freedom to perform unique calculations.

If you are utilizing the same arithmetic formula with many varying settings or using the same formula with several data sets then you will have noticed how it requires you to re-save your arithmetic files over and over or create many duplicates with small variances. Instead you can utilize the free formula parameters and make changes to your formulas and variables using only the data definition! This short PAK Video Tip explains in detail how to use the free formula parameters and demonstrates one example where you can use the parameters for trouble shooting.

This PAK Tip Video will explain how to create a target curve using the PAK Arithmetic function. You will learn how to apply target curves of your own design to multiple plots in the Graphic Definition.

Setting up multiple lines of the graphic definition isn’t too difficult… unless you have subtle differences between the analyses in each line. Using the Copy and Copy Items tools in the data definition you can copy large or small parts of each data definition to user specified lines of the data definition, making setting up or adjusting your graphic definition a breeze.

Whether the data was imported or recorded using the PAK – MKII system, it can be reanalyzed in a multitude of ways. With this short 6 minute tutorial you will learn how to post process PAK or imported data, analyze sections of data, use a variety of PAK tools to save analyses, and perform several consecutive post processing analyses with separate settings.

When comparing sounds graphically it can be hard to differentiate numerically even if they sound quite different. In this short video we show you how to use pyschoacoustics and loudness to truly differentiate sounds numerically.
